Ryudnard.2587 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I predict it will happen in about 6 months. Don't say never. It will happen for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 It will happen much later than optimists predict, much sooner than pessimists bemoan. **** I expect something like the following: * 3-6 months before: ANet will announce they solved the last technical issue and all that remains is finalizing UI, rules, and other gory details. They will asking our opinion about some of those things. * 1-3 months before: ANet will announce a date, to give people time to finalize their choice of guild and the guilds to sort into alliances * Day of release: the forums will be filled with complaints of how ANet goofed, how this is worse than no alliances. There will be calls to bring back links. * 1 month after: with things settling down, real WvWarriors will have compiled a list of constructive criticisms (and there will be many); ANet will fix many of them. * 3 months later: the new normal, and people will return to complaining about teams running away from fights, siege humping, warclaw, and thieves.

Blodeuyn.2751 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I vote for never, though I think the game is too old and too far gone for Alliances to matter now. All we seem to have left are karma trains and easy-mode clusterfucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 right after another game absorbs the modes player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaruselka.5943 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'm in the "never" camp. With all the layoffs and given the game's age I seriously doubt they will bother with a game mode that doesn't really contribute to Anet's bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrushEm.4708 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 They'll give us a date on Alliances right about the same time City State gives us a release date for CU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subversiontwo.7501 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Well, it is dead silent from Anet again so we can't know for sure. The last thing we heard was 1-2 months back and that they had a full programming team working on it now, that must mean that the base design and mock-up concept programming is done now and that the code for the system is being fleshed out. From that one could assume that they are aiming to reach early QA on the live/full code by the summer so more intensive/broad QA, polishing and recoding can be done once people get back from their vacations. So Q3 to Q4 2019 would be a logical deducation but with Anet we never really know because of the silence and we have learnt not to trust logic, hints or rumours by now because they've let slip things like that roadmap before only to learn that the programming team was likely not more than one dude laying conceptual foundations even if he formally was programming.

Pfft I'm betting it gets a release date once he's back down to a years' payroll, after the fresh infusion he'll get from whispering the word "beta 2".....
